I too am having issues with Thunderbird freezing up. It usually happens when sending emails, but it does also happen randomly, too. This last time it froze, I clicked on the "details" link and this was the message that appeared:

I'm not really sure what all that means, but if someone could help me figure out this on-going problem, I'd really appreciate it. I'm using Windows 8.1 and AVG antivirus, if that helps. Thanks in advance.
